^and that's about the extent of it...

I mean, where/why would one drive such a car... Use it as intended and just drive down the value... Nice, but it's for someone with a museum.

Oh, that poor car, no one loved it enough to drive it.

Hopefully who ever buys it, is ready to do some serious maintaince due to the lack of use. Hopefully some one changed the oil & gas a few times.

It has exhausts on both sides, but 930s only had one exhaust pipe on the left. I presume the second exhaust pipe (one extra per side) is for the turbo waste-gate, but the 930 was only single-turbo. Weird.

Whoa, good eye
My bud has an 88 black on black turbo with 13K miles, if anyone is interested...

Guys, that exhaust is stock for the UK-only 911 Turbo LE. Nothing fishy, just a cream-puff collector's item, that will probably never be "driven".
